An event designed between the two key Charlie Class airspaces in ZSE that feature two key airports and two moderate class Delta airports that nicely complement each other. The two areas are Portland Oregon and Spokane Washington. In Portland, we will feature KPDX and KHIO (Hillsboro). Hillsboro is a great general aviation airport that features a lot of corporate jet traffic, including for the likes of Nike and Intel.  In Spokane, we will feature KGEG and KSFF (Felts Field). Fielts field is also a nice general aviation airport.

KHIO will be great for those flying light and moderate corporate jets and single/twin engine props, and KSFF for light jets and single/twin engine props. KSFF is a shorter runway compared to even KHIO.

The route between these two areas creates a perfect opportunity to balance the departing and arriving traffic and keep controllers on their toes. If enough controllers are available we will also offer to staff the Fairchild AFB KSKA for some military traffic to/from the Portland Air National Guard Base (PANG) at KPDX. Those who also want to stay local could also fly from KPDX to KHIO as well.

A few helpful and important notes:
